Copa Libertadores Champions Atlético Mineiro Unveil 2014 PUMA Kits

Clube Atlético Mineiro continued the defense of their 2013 Copa Libertadores title on Wednesday when they drew 1-1 with Paraguay’s Nacional Asunción in 2014 World Cup destination Belo Horizonte.

The one-time (1970) Brazilian top-tier or Campeonato Brasileiro Série A champions came to the attention of many soccer fans worldwide when they signed future legend Ronaldinho in 2012.
